Akorn Financial Advice provide support on all aspects of a client’s financial planning needs. Including Investment Advice, Pensions & Retirement Planning, Mortgage & Protection Advice to Inheritance Tax and Succession Planning.

Business owner Angelo Kornecki is also a qualified university lecturer in accounting & financial services. And utilises these skills to help support other Financial Advisers, schools with their PSHE provision & professional sports teams with the financial element of their life skills programmes.

We’ve supported Angelo since he first started out. In the first few years his printing technology requirements we’re limited, although he still required a reliable and cost-effective solution.

Angelo’s business has grown though. In number of clients, number of employees & with the additional training & education department. Which means their technology needs have changed too.

Customer objective

Angelo asked us to assess their current printing solution and answer the following questions:

• Is it still fit for purpose?
• Is there a better solution & why?
• Am I tied into my current agreement?
• What are the upgrade charges?

Our solution

After providing Angelo with a free assessment this is what we found:

• Angelo’s current solution is no longer fit for purpose
• Their team & business has expanded & the current technology is groaning
• Fast printing & scanning had become critical to the business
• They need high quality, extra functionality & a more robust solution

And here are our recommendations:

• Replace our small organisation print service with our free photocopier / digital multi-function device solution
• It provides fast printing & scanning, high quality, extra functionality & is very robust
• We offer a free upgrade path to our customers, so Angelo had no extra charges
• Installation, training, cartridges, support & maintenance are all included
• All Angelo pays is a guaranteed fixed price for each printed page. Scanning is free.

Financial and operational result

Financial: As we offer a free upgrade path and provide / install our refurbished photocopier (digital multi-function device) for free too. There are no extra charges for Angelo to worry about.

Angelo pays a fair & affordable fixed price for each page they print, which we guarantee will not increase for time he is on the agreement. Which helps Angelo financially plan their growth.

But that’s only half the story…

Operational: They’ve gained much more. They now have the right fit for purpose technology. For today & tomorrow. Providing the Akorn team with total peace of mind.
